Keep up the good work!

suzanne, i love reading your diary its so honest and if the guilt wasnt there would this really be a recovery? i believe we need to feel this in order to make us understand what gambling actually does to as you said yourself and your loved ones. so as rubbish as it feels i say embrace it let yourself feel it because as sh*tty as it may feel for you isnt it a sign that this time its for real. i suppose stopping gambling is kind of like a grieving process and to get over it you have to deal with it.
You are doing fab lovely.

Evening diary
Am thinking got through another day on my new beginning yes I have had to begin again but everyday is a new beginning because I feel different every day
There might be a new beginning every day but I realise there will never be an ending I will never be able to think I have come to the end of this journey on this new beginning because there is no end to addiction it will never go away I have to abstain for life.
But hey that will keep me strong and my brain sharp and aware of every corner this life brings so that has to be positive doesn't it
Have a safe and peaceful gambling free night all

Well done on 40 days Suzanne, keep going, keep strong you are doing a great job.
Dear diary
Thanks Shaun
Well day 40 has arrived I feel ok
Worked early shift so am tired which usually gives me urges to play but I have come on here to take my mind off any urges that are waiting to pounce
What a difference a day makes with the weather yesterday lovely and sunny today not stop rain it is just like my feelings and moods never know what tomorrow is going to be like
Don't feel so positive about everything today and I don't mean gambling it's the aFtermath of it all and the big mountain I hAve to climb And that is just to get straight with money I will be in debt for a long time to come but thAt first mountain is to be able to have enough money for the month to live normally that will be another 5 months I think
Not thinking about me but my OH he has to live the same none of this is his fault
I wished I was not thinking of me when I was in oblivion on line but I realise now I was not thinking of anyone or anything least of all myself
I won't spend even one penny today on gambling
Don't want to play today want to keep climbing that mountain
Have a happy peaceful gambling free afternoon all
Suzanne xx
Massive congrats on day 40.
It's an achievement to be proud of especially if you've not got to this point before
Your OH must see something positive in you or he wouldn't still be there.
OH must also have faith that you can overcome it so he can have his partner back in full
Therefore you are worth the wait. If he can wait for you to heal with his support I'm sure you can make it to the end of a gamblers life and begin real living together
